Let's assume that all the coins are 10-cent coins.

The total value would be 10 x 40 = 400 cents = $4

So, it would be $2.5 less than the actual total value,

We now know that not all the coins are 10-cent coins, so now we will replace 1 10-cent coins with a 20-cent coins.

Everytime we switch a 1 10-cent coins to a 20-cent coins, the value go up 10 cents. So, we need to switch 25 times (to make the value goes up $2.5)

-> There are 25 20-cent coins and 15 10-cent coins

Recheck : 25 x 20 + 15 x 10 = 500 + 15 = 650 cents = $6.5

(-5, 12). Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine. Since csc theta =13/12, sin theta=12/13. We can narrow down to two angles, one in first quadrant and one in second quadrant. We are also given sec theta=-13/5, so cos theta=-5/13. Thus the angle is in the second quadrant. tan theta=1/cot theta=-12/5, so point (-5, 12) is on the ray.
